Here is what happened to players drafted in the 7th round last year. 22 practice squad players Vance Walker (DT) Chris Ogbonnaya (RB) Javarris Williams (RB) Paul Fanaika (G) J.D. Folsom (LB) Fui Vakapuna (RB Blake Schlueter (C) A.Q. Shipley (C) Mike Mickens (CB) Lydon Murtha (T) Manuel Johnson (WR) Eddie Williams (TE) Darryl Richard (DT) Zack Follett (LB) Jaimie Thomas (T) Ryan Durand (G) Nick Schommer (S) Clinton McDonald (DT) Tiquan Underwood (WR) Trevor Canfield (G) Dan Gronkowski (TE) Freddie Brown (WR) 20 players made the roster Captain Munnerlyn (CB) Brad Jones (LB) Curtis Taylor (S) Ellis Lankster (CB) Pat McAfee (P) Moise Fokou (LB) Jamarca Sanford (S) Julian Edelman (WR) Sammie Stroughter (WR) Jake O'Connell (TE) LaRod Stephens-Howling (RB) David Johnson (TE) Marko Mitchell (WR) Courtney Greene (S) Nick Reed (DE) Cameron Morrah (TE) Reshad Jennings (RB) Ryan Succop (K) Ricky Jean-Francois (DT) inactive all season Lance Louis (OG) inactive all season 3 injured E.J. Biggers (CB) Placed on IR (shoulder) Troy Nolan (S) Placed on IR (hand) Demetrius Byrd (WR) Placed on the PUP list 2 cut Stoney Woodson (CB) Derek Kinder (WR) What does that tell us? Half of the players selected in the 7th round this year will be available once final cuts are made. That is not even counting undrafted free agents. Just something to keep in mind.
It tells me that our two guys have a 50% chance of making the roster. PS: I'm pretty confident JD Folsom made the active roster too (at least for one game).
True. When I say made the roster I mean a player who contributed most of the year. Folsom suited up one or two weeks I believe but for the most part he was a practice squad player. At least I would put him in that category.
I believe he was active twice, once before being cut and once after being resigned to the practice squad after Crowder was hurt.
